2.The opinions I would give her was to tell her mo and to get some help!
3.No, I wouldn't tell another friend because if I was pregnant and I wanted evryone to know I would tell them myself. Yes, it would start a chain of gossip.

Journal Entry Day 2

Now that you are a parent of an egg baby, everyone in your family wants to see your new baby/babies.
1. What would it be like in your family for one day as you visit your relatives?
Your baby is sick. You have to decide if you or your guardian will stay home and which will go to work or school.
1. Who would win the battle of staying home and watching the baby?
2. If you are the one staying home, how would you get to the doctor’s office while your parents are working? Assuming you can’t drive because you do not have a license and you aren’t of legal age to operate a car or other vehicle

1. If I had a baby and went to my families house they would probably not think the same of me! They would be crowded around the baby and would be asking me questions. It would be scary because what if someone dropped the baby. It would also be crazy because I have alot of family with alot of little kids that would wont to see it and hold it. My family would also be really mad at me because I did things that I'm not proud of and things that would embarrassed them.

1.Well, if my baby was sick and me and my mom was argueing over who was gonna have to watch Logan while he is sick, it would be me.

2. I would have to get my sister to take Logan to the doctor.

3. Should mothers always get custody of the children after a divorce or separation?
